Executive Director
Logan County Chamber of Commerce

“I can’t believe it is almost time!” I proclaimed a little less than 24 hours after the Annual Dinner earlier this month. But, sure enough, Assistant Director Amanda Baker and I were already talking about the upcoming Logan County Tobacco and Heritage Festival. Sure enough, next week will be the first meeting for this year’s Tobacco Festival Chairs.
At the Annual Dinner earlier this month
we honored Chair Paige Dockins and Co-Chair Krystal Gunderson for the awesome
work they did with last year’s festival. Now Krystal takes over and will be
working with Co-Chair Ben Kemplin to continue the rich tradition of the largest
single event in Logan County each year.
ANNUAL DINNER COMMITTEE
An oversight from the first half of
this newsletter and it might have been because I’m in the photo, but many
thanks to the Annual Dinner Committee, who put on a great “Spring Fling” event.
It was a sell-out and it was fun. Wish we could do one every month. (OK, that’s
not true, there would be nothing left of Amanda and me if that happened!)

RIBBON CUTTING FOR PRECISION DIE CASTING
There will be a joint ribbon cutting on
March 28 at 2:30 p.m. with the Chamber and LEAD to recognize the new owners of
Precision Die Casting. Let’s all try to come out and support our member and an
important local industry.
There also will be a ribbon cutting for
the re-modeled Russellville location of Auburn Banking Company on
April 19 form 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The ribbon cutting will be at 8 a.m.
April 19th will be a big spud of a day for another reason as well. The
Famous Idaho Potato Tour will be coming to the Russellville Wal-Mart. (The
picture is below, because describing it won’t do it justice.) There will be
tours and individuals can see the 72-foot
potato for themselves. The most important part of the tater tour
is a board that will be out for people to sign. The Concerned Citizens of Logan
County will get $1 for each signature, up to $500. So be sure to plan go to our
ribbon cutting that morning and then mosey over to Wal-Mart and sign the board
for a good cause.
